NHL: Stars’ Peverley out for season

DALLAS (AP) — Rich Peverley will not play again this season after collapsing on the bench during a game. Whether the Dallas Stars’ forward resumes his career won’t be known until after an extensive evaluation of his irregular heartbeat.

Peverley appeared briefly at a news conference, reading nervously from a statement that thanked “the number of people that saved my life” after he went down in a game against Columbus, stunning players, coaches and fans.

UNDATED (AP) — Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun agreed to an endorsement deal with baseball footwear and apparel company 3n2 LLC — his first since his suspension last year for violating Major League Baseball’s anti-drug agreement.

Terms of the deal with the company based in Orlando, Fla., were not disclosed. ESPN.com first reported the agreement.
